Copper (ii) sulfate pentahydrate, cuso4 x 5h20 is heated in an open crucible to remove the water. (a) diagram the lab set up clearly labelling the key chemicals and materials needed. (b) the initial mass of the sample is 8.00 g and after heating the new mass is 6.50 g. based on this data is the compound completely dried or is additional heating required? provide evidence including calculations and written reasoning for credit.

The equation below shows a chemical reaction. a + b + heat —> c + d according to the law of conservation of energy, which statement is true? a. the reactants absorb heat because they have less energy than the products. b. the products release heat because they have more energy than the reactants. c. the reactants generate heat because they have more energy than the products. d. the products require heat to form because they have less energy than the reactants.
